F**k the Disabled (2002) |
"'Keeping It Real' is earnest but so laid back as film that it's finally pedestrian." |

Face (2004) |
"Too slight in realization and trite in characterization to work as it might have." |

Facing the Giants (2006) |
"'Facing the Giants' is an inspirational drama that has its heart in the right place but loses its storytelling skills somewhere in the heavens." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
Facing Windows (2003) |
"A case study of a film that opens well enough, promises much, changes horses in midstream, and sinks." |
Donald J. Levit |
Splat |
Factory Girl (2007) |
"'Factory Girl' doesn't give Sienna Miller much to do but smoke, scream, and cry her way to the end." |

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"Michael Moore stirs the political pot again with this incendiary documentary." |
Diana Saenger |
Tomato |
Faith of My Fathers (2005) |
"Beautifully rendered with flashback scenes showing how John McCain evolved into the man he is today." |
Geoff Roberts |
Tomato |
The Fall (2008) |
"The wackiness of this elaborate, not entirely tongue-in-cheek film, makes for wonder-filled moviegoing." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Fallen Angels Paradise (2001) |
"The talent and vision of filmmaker Fawzi and his staff are what carry this movie beyond a simple elaborate joke." |

Fame (2009) |
"To me, this updating of the original 'Fame' beautifully highlights the joys and heartbreaks that come with dedication to the performing arts." |

Fame (2009) |
"'Fame 2009' is the cinematic equivalent of Muzak and will leave many viewers longing for the next episode of TV's 'Glee.'" |

Family Guy - Volume 4 (2006) |
"Despite its weaknesses, 'Family Guy: Volume 4' contains enough laughs to keep fans of the series more than satisfied." |

Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story (2005) |
"Several sequences in this film work, but they are too few and far between." |
Geoff Roberts |
Splat |
The Family Man (2000) |
"I was disappointed with its overly sentimental tone and rather questionable message. Are married men with children actually more deserving of happiness than single guys? According to this movie, yes." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat |
The Family Stone (2005) |
"Ultra-contrived, but delivers an important message about tolerance." |

Fantasia 2000 (1999) |
"...none of the picture's flaws undermine the fact that you're having a good time watching these fantastic animated segments..." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
Fantastic Four (2005) |
"After such recent downers as 'War of the Worlds' and 'Dark Water,' this campy film version of Marvel’s longest-running comic book series is a breath of fresh air." |
Betty Jo Tucker |

The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"'Rise' includes some fun moments, but it has the same play-it-safe, almost complacent attitude of the first 'Fantastic Four' movie." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"'Silver Surfer' features more eye-popping special effects than the first Fantastic 4 movie, but the story comes across like a Saturday morning kiddie cartoon." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat |
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"'Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer' is dreadful. The script lacks creativity, and the actors seem uncomfortable with their unnatural dialogue." |
Geoff Roberts |

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |
"Wes Anderson's first animated movie turns out to be one of 2009's best films." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |
"Wes Anderson's idiosyncratic style and children's author Roald Dahl's cozy-yet-edgy imagination are a perfect fit in this enjoyable and altogether unusual movie experience." |
John P. McCarthy |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Far Cry (2009) |
"The script has imported all the stock characters and artificial wit that populate so-called adrenaline rushes, but it takes forever to make with the thrills." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat 5/10 |
Fast & Furious (2009) |
"General unoriginality contributes to 'The Fast and the Furious' series' own issue as a 'seen one, seen 'em all' series." |
Jeffrey Chen |

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) |
"Beyond watching adrenaline-pumping racing, I believe there's little reason to subject yourself to this film." |

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) |
"Lin had the opportunity to create a vision of [Tokyo] that feels updated, hip, and relevant. He may have only half-succeeded here.

Fast Food Nation (2006) |
"Not the most naturally flowing film, but it does get its point across." |

Fat Albert (2004) |
"The entire plot consists of one hackneyed device after another." |

Father and Son (2004) |

Favela Rising (2006) |
"Success depicted here is sweet and inspirational. But moviegoers may long for a dramatized, less narrated picture of the process involved.

Fear(s) of the Dark (2008) |
"At once imperviously artistic and ingeniously simple, this anthology takes the notion of being scared to one of its most profound dimensions yet." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato 8/10 |
Fearless (2006) |
"A martial arts version of a comic book superhero movie." |

Femme Fatale (2002) |
"De Palma's new thriller almost ends up as a parody -- largely because of a miscast female lead." |

Festival Express (2004) |
"This is the filmed fun of musicians enjoying what they do." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Fever (1981) |
"Although filmed with striking light as though through a fine veil from mists rising from the river, 'Fever' includes no heroes -- just villains and fools." |

Fever Pitch (2005) |
"Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon make an appealing on-screen couple in this insightful romantic comedy." |
Betty Jo Tucker |

Fido (2007) |
"'Fido' is a bright, witty, and darkly hilarious production. I hope it will find a home in the hearts of horror hounds for years to come." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
Fifty Dead Men Walking (2009) |
"The user-used/player-pawn/Fergus-Marty relationship is what counts here, braced by Kingsley and Sturgess in a consideration of conscience in wartime." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Fight Club (1999) |
"Although Pitt’s acting brilliance comes through loud and clear in his most unsympathetic role to date, Fight Club belongs to Norton." |

The Final Destination (2009) |
"It takes more than 3D effects to make up for the lack of a compelling story, genuine thrills, and strong performances." |
